Former House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday speculated about why first lady Melania Trump “doesn’t look real happy every day.”
“I think Donald Trump promised Melania he would not win,” the Ohio Republican said Thursday during a talk at the Mackinac Policy Conference on Mackinac Island, Mich.
“She would never have to worry about living in the White House. It’s probably why she doesn’t look real happy every day — well, maybe one reason,” he quipped.
Similar rumors were shot down by the first lady’s spokeswoman when author Michael Wolff claimed that Melania Trump “was in tears” after her husband won the presidency in his explosive book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.
“Mrs. Trump supported her husband’s decision to run for President and in fact, encouraged him to do so. She was confident he would win and was very happy when he did,” spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said back in January.
The first lady also dismissed recent rumors circulating around her lack of public appearances, following a hospital stint due to surgery for a “benign kidney condition,” as “fake news” in a tweet on Wednesday.
